I like the idea behind this project. I give to this project 5 starts for technology as I see some problems that they are trying to solve. They propose the permament storage for your data, someone can say that this is impossible and that applications or data cannot be changed, however, I do not see a problem here as people use smart contract with the same logic. As you deploy smart contract the... More

My sentiments regarding Arweave are a blend of positive thoughts and lingering reservations. On one hand, Arweave manages to tick several boxes that align with my investment criteria, yet on the other hand, there are noteworthy aspects that trigger a sense of caution.

What I find appealing about considering Arweave as a potential investment:

1. Growth Potential in a Thriving Space for the... More

Amidst the competitive landscape of data storage solutions, I hold Arweave's transparency in high regard. Their approach and lasting solutions make me give them a 4-star rating.

Decentralized storage for the long-term is the driving force behind Arweave's unique potential. Their market offering: prolonged data storage achieved through a single payment, paving the way for innovative permanent... More

I find Arweave's technology to be truly captivating and extremely well thought out. It is considered a blockchain, however it uses its technology slightly different in its implementation compared to others. Unlike traditional blockchains with linear chains of blocks, Arweave employs a unique structure which they have termed "blockweave." In this set up they use a graph of blocks to store data so...

I don't see how this can possibly work.

First, why would you want permanent storage? See the image below. You cannot delete files, but your files can be censored with a ANS-106 standard, which tells miners not to store the data. Who decides if the ANS-106 request is legit? Once uploaded, files cannot be deleted and everything counts towards your storage allowance. So you're going to have a... More

I want to give this SIX stars and an A+++... I'm surprised it didn't rate higher, but other reviews seem to be more theoretical so I hope this applied perspective is helpful!

Arweave stands as the "gold standard," IMHO. I used Arweave for my Genesis mint NFT collection (with a Manifold contract). I can personally attest to its unparalleled service.

While IPFS and FileCoin have their merits,... More

I'm a bit neutral on this one.

Pros

• interesting use case with the data storage
• web page hosted on blockchain

cons

• the current web pages hosted are not really of quality, lots of personal pages, but very few corporate pages. Is it because SEO is terrible?
• Filecoin is the most well known for blockchain storage, while Ocean Protocol is targeting a specific niche for AI-related data. Does Arweave really have the ability to attract customers?

Unknown

are the web hosting service censorship resistant, or it can be taken down with a subpoena?

With the continuous and rapid expansion of data and information, the demand for permanent storage solutions I think will continue to grow significantly in the coming decades. With this context in mind, Arweave emerges as a promising choice to play a significant role in this market.

While Filecoin + Sia also offer comparable services and stand as competitors, Arweave sets itself apart through its... More

I had the personal chance of working closely with an Arweave project in the ecosystem that revolves around privacy-preserving personalization and, to put it mildly; Arweave has solid ground.

Data storage is a huge problem and addressing that is a critical challenge. Arweave aims to create a decentralized and immutable archive where data can be stored securely for an extended period.

The lads... More
